What is the code that you are trying to run? What version of pak is this?

I am afraid that you'll have to show us a package for which this fails.

This seems like a different problem to me. It could be an edge case of the solver. The rc version of pak is better at that, try this: ``` install.packages("pak",...

You `pkgType` is `source`, set it to `binary` in `install.packages()`. Or doing what the warnings says should fix this as well: `pak::pak_update()`.

How about `mac.binary`? ```r install.packages("pak", repos = "https://r-lib.github.io/p/pak/dev/", type = "mac.binary") ``` If everything else fails, you can also get the file directly: https://github.com/r-lib/r-lib.github.io/tree/master/p/pak/dev/bin/macosx/contrib/4.2

Yeah. CRAN will still not give you binaries if your system is configured to install packages from source. But yeah, it will install pak from source.

Yes, it is an arrow. Could be `->` instead, maybe?

I'll try if this works and then write a test case for it and document it.

We don't _need_ to, but @lionel- is on High Sierra. :)
